Hello ,
Thanks for consulting HCM
Rea your query as you had undergone molar tooth extraction now you have pain and thickened saliva dont be worried so much this pain swelling is seen in patients after wisdom tooth extraction .
I will suggest you to follow post operative instructions given by your dentist and proper course of antibiotic prescribed and consult your dentist for follow up .
Hope this will help you.
